I think there are truths which reveal the limitations of human language. And when this happens we have to rely on artists to express these great spiritual insights through an alternative language--like music or film or the visual arts or dance--to say clearly what the rest of us only feel vaguely.\xa0 So, when I heard Ryan O\u2019Neal, otherwise known as Sleeping At Last, was writing songs from the perspective of each of the Nine Enneagram Types, well as you can imagine, I was pretty intrigued.

On today\u2019s show, Sleeping At Last joins us to talk about this intriguing and wonderful series of new music and shares his song titled, \u201cONE\u201d from the project, ATLAS: Year Two. You\u2019ll love hearing not only his music but also hearing his heart which I think is, well, evidently magnificent.

Sleeping At Last is the moniker of Chicago-based singer-songwriter, producer and composer, Ryan O\u2019Neal.\xa0 In 2013, Sleeping At Last began the long-form concept project,\xa0Atlas,\xa0which is an ongoing series of new music (EPs, Singles, etc) to be released over the course of several years.\xa0Atlas: Year One\xa0(30 songs) was completed in early 2014.
